two wildly different ip addresses on my taskbar

[carphone]

I just happened to roll over the arrows on the taskbar and it showed two ip addresses one was my static 192.168 etc etc but the other was 169.254.28 something.

there is only one dhcp server (my router) and was worried if this is some sort of attack!!!!!

I disconnected the ethernet cable, reconnected and the additional ip disappeared.

Any ideas???
Thanks
